Bleachers today release their highly anticipated fourth studio album ‘Bleachers’ via Dirty Hit
The new album is more conversational, outward-looking and even funny. It paints a more peaceful and, by Antonoff’s own admission, mature picture of love” – The Guardian
“‘Bleachers’ is a bold, upbeat record – all unexpected sax lines, thwacking snares and lyrics that are somehow both wry and surprisingly earnest”– British GQ
“It’s not merely the sound of ‘Bleachers’ that distinguishes the album but Antonoff’s newly expansive approach to writing for the band”– Los Angeles Times
“Jack Antonoff has almost single-handedly made modern pop into a glorious safe space, an expansive, sensitive, creative biosphere” – Rolling Stone

The release of ‘Bleachers’ has been met with tremendous critical acclaim with DIY lauding the album as “nothing short of remarkable”, Rolling Stone praising its “spiritual ecstasy that can only be attained through the platonic perfection of pop formula” and NME labeling the record as “a triumphant portrait of Antonoff’s talent and the band’s tight musical bond”.
There’s a rich depth to the band’s sound on ‘Bleachers’: it is laid out in bright, soulful technicolour. The album is frontman Antonoff’s distinctly New Jersey take on the bizarre sensory contradictions of modern life, on his position in culture, and on the things he cares about. Sonically, it’s sad, it’s joyful, it’s music for driving on the highway to, for crying to and for dancing to at weddings. There’s something reassuringly touchable and concrete about its sentiment: exist in crazy times but remember what counts.
This week Bleachers announced details of their biggest headline show to date at Madison Square Garden, with the band set to bring their renowned live show to “the world’s most famous arena” in New York City on Friday 4th October. Fans can sign up now atbleachers.ffm.to/msg to access the Seated registration presale beginning on Wednesday 13th March at 10am local time. General onsale begins on Friday 15th March at 10am ET at bleachersmusic.com/tour.
Bleachers will hit the road this month on their highly anticipated ‘From The Studio To The Stage’ tour, which will see the band play across the United Kingdom in March before a US leg in May and June, including the sixth edition of the band’s legendary Shadow Of The City festival in New Jersey. This will be the first opportunity for eager fans to see the band play live in support of their critically acclaimed new album. Limited tickets for remaining dates can be found at bleachersmusic.com/tour.
Described as “anthemic, life affirming pop rock” by the New York Times, Bleachers are fronted by globally celebrated, eleven-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Jack Antonoff. Releasing their debut album ‘Strange Desire’ in 2014, the band have built a huge, passionate following across three studio albums, becoming renowned for their impressive live show and infectious camaraderie. The band’s last album, ‘Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night’ took them to new heights, showcasing Antonoff’s immersive songwriting and, as Variety testified, his innate skill at “supersizing personal stories into larger-than-life pop anthems”.
Both with Bleachers and as a songwriter and producer, Antonoff, who, in 2021, was credited by the BBC for having “redefined pop music”, has collaborated with the likes of Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, The 1975, Diana Ross, Lorde, St. Vincent, Florence + The Machine, Kevin Abstract and many more. In February 2024 Antonoff won Producer of the Year (Non-Classical) at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards for an incredible third consecutive year, becoming only the second producer in history to win three years running.
